Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Wrong signs
I was walking down town yesterday and saw a bus, having a typical rectangular cuboidal bus-like shape, with the word "Circular" on the front above the windscreen in orange fluorescent letters.
This was quite clearly not the case. What signs have you seen that are totally wrong?

Nah .. QOTW material
We could talk about the "Delays until December 2008" sign.
Does that really mean a roadworks-related traffic holdup in which we can expect to remain in our cars for a year? In which those without adequate provisions will need to be kept supplied by aid convoys via the hard shoulder? In which we can expect claims that relationships were made and small families conceived and born between lanes 1 and 2?
Or does it mean we'll just have to add 20 minutes to our journey every day for the next year?
